In regards to the title I have no idea if this truly is the most rugged notebook in the world but it sure looks like it. It’s no secret I lust after Lenovo ThinkPads (do I mention them enough?). Thus, I follow the Lenovo blog Inside the Box regularly. Usually it’s interesting but still just basic info but yesterday they posted Lenovo Ruggedized PC.
The back story is that the Matt, one of the bloggers of Inside the Box was on a trip to Lenovo’s Beijing Innovation Center
According to Matt this is, “A true drop it in the mud, run over it with your car, flush it down the toilet, ruggedized machine.” Which indeed it does appear to be. Now granted this is a little more machine than the average office worker needs – but frankly it might come in useful if you say, live in the land o’rain that is Oregon like I do. Or if you go camping for the office retreat or are just generally clumsy.
The blog is currently weighing the question; overkill or great idea among blog readers and I believe that “overkill” is winning. I don’t love the handle but I do like thick.
Yes I am that girl with one of the larger cell phones. Too thin is sometimes just plain too thin. You know what I mean. I like something sturdy to hold onto.
I hope they do turn out a more rugged machine. Now the best trick would be to turn out a more rugged and thick machine but do it in such a way that is still isn’t too heavy. I know that Lenovo is not a company of magic leprechauns but still – rugged and no weight would be a cool feat.

So, what do you think? Is it too army-like or not rugged enough?
